Chessbase's xxxxxxx.uci files that are created in the Engines folder, from the "Create UCI engine" process, are text. I think in cases where a native and uci engine share a common name, as Shredder 8 apparently does, one could edit the xxxxxx.uci file and change the "Name=xxxxxxx" so you can differentiate the native and UCI in the GUI.
